Sometimes I like to imagine a beautiful woman chasing me down, knocking me to the ground, straddling me, then putting her lips a breaths away from mine and whispering, "The other girls all fought back much harder than this" and plunging her knife into my heart like a kiss.

my interview panel: This is NOT what we meant by "Where do you see yourself in five years."

🎵 & 🍪 !

🎵 - Last song you listened to?

Sweet Talk - Saint Motel (up next is Wasteland, Baby! by our boi Hozier)

🍪- If you were a cookie, what kind would you be?

Peanut butter blossom, because I, too, am 60% peanut butter and have a nice little kiss to offer <3

#thank you for asking!!#tortugay #fun fact! I was asked the cookie question but about what food (in general) I'd be at a recent job interview #I panicked #I said ice cream #because I'm sweet and have a lot to offer and I get sticky if I'm left out too long #I didn't get the job #lmaoooooooo #ask games

#i didn't get the job #was neck to neck with another person #they would hire me if another round comes up in the future #I'm a little peeved about them asking me to volunteer then get work through that manner #not opposed but in this economy and having little to no time to myself cause of work #and chronic pain issues it was like ehhhh thanks for the slap?#im probably reading too much into that cause I'm bummed #and i had a really crappy day at work #and im tired im not getting paid enough for what im doing my coworkers are dicks and im in pain #sorry needed to get this shit off my chest #im mostly bummed too cause the pay raise would've literally taken me out of poverty #i cant find anything else like it in my area #thousand times fuck america #thanks for coming to my ted talk #im gonna go grab some cheap wine #listen to some music #and try to decompress

For the fic writer ask game: 19, 33, 47? Please

19. If you had to pick one fic/scene/chapter of your work to describe your entire portfolio to a stranger, which would you pick?

I already answered this one here

33. Is there any particular character whose scenes always wind up being longer/more frequent than you expected? Does the quality hold up?

I don't think so. I go into most fics I write with a basic idea of what I want to happen with the characters. If anything, I have the opposite thing happen. If I want to focus on characters aside from my main characters, the scenes end up being shorter than I intended.

47. If someone you know in real life who isn’t involved in fandoms asked to read your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you recommend they read first?

Um...I actually gave a sample of my fic with my resume at a job interview (it was a position in the creative department and part of the job was copywriting, so I figured a writing sample was pertinent). I believe the sample I gave was In Kya's Garden.

#ask the badger mole #ask game #atla #zutara #i didn't get the job #make of that what you will

I got another interview for a job "in my field".

It feels weird to attach myself to it that way.

I usually say I'm an "ex-librarian type person" because it feels weird to lay claim to bring a librarian when I've never "really" been one.

I went to library school (and got great marks!)

I did my placements (and was well regarded!)

But I never got a job in that field.

I graduated while the world was still in the wait-and-see recovery period from the 2008 crash. We were told that a wave of librarians would be retiring really soon!

But then they didn't.

People extended their time working-- across the board!-- because they couldn't afford to retire.

I wasn't able to get a library job right out of school. Some classmates were lucky enough to have that.

I was too busy reeling and healing from the most major suicide attempt in my life. I didn't have it in me to run the volunteer-to-job pipeline. Usually I couldn't afford to spend working time not getting paid, either.

I interviewed a few times! But I was never a good fit, never had enough experience, never managed to learn French or ASL.

It was obvious a few times that people were uncomfortable with my age(too young to fit in with the mostly 50+ workforce) or, later, that I am trans. But no one ever says those things.

So after a few years I mostly gave up. I went back to school, decided to try something else.

Burnt myself out.

Now we're a decade later, and libraries all around me seem to be scrambling to fill positions. It's the most library positions I've seen open at once ever.

I've applied to a bunch. Mostly because they are the only things offering low enough hours with work I feel confident I can do despite my disability.

And this will be the second library interview I've gotten this year!

But I feel like such an imposter.

Do I really "know" those library skills I've had on my resume for 10years but haven't been able to use?

me, a dumb idiot, a week ago: wow this is going to be my last week at this place

#i didn't get the job #the hypomania made me think i could do anything #when it reality i can't #i don't know what i'm going to do #i don't want to be stuck at a shitty grocery store for another year #because i imagine that's how long it'll take to even find a place to consider me past one interview

I truly, TRULY do not know how to say this, because the fact that I have to say it makes me feel like I am losing my grip on reality. But no, in the post-capitalistic anarchist utopia, I will not be relying on “autistic minecraft girlies” to be building inspectors because - and this may shock you - one of those occupations takes years of education in how to read and interpret hundreds of thousands of lines of regulations based on complicated math and physics that were the result of decades of tragedy and death, and the other one involves playing a children’s video game.

#i am begging this website. BEGGING it. to stop acting like building codes are state oppression #and please stop reducing blue collar jobs to 'so easy any handyman could do it with a youtube video'#that's how people fucking die #i didn't spend five years learning how to do my job safely to watch people online tell me it could've just been a course in high school #i know that this is like. a minority minority opinion and not really worth getting worked up over #but it's so annoying to see supposed leftists denigrating blue collar jobs like this #same poster also opined that we won't need garbagemen #because 'if the trash is bothering people they'll figure out a way to clean it without having to pick it up'#like what??? does that even fucking mean????#construction

#I'm so frustrated how little time and energy i have after a day is done #i didn't win the fight against depression to have lofe ruined by THAT now #lacking time and energy to go on job hunt.. it's all very small steps only #a part time job would be marvellous but what flat can be paid with that #maybe also my anxiety is stopping me from getting a new job. what if i get fired. what if it's horrible there. ahh.. i need more courage #mine capitalism #anti-capitalism #work

#that's her baby sister right there #she finally gets some sense of family in this job and then she has to LEEAAAAVVVEEEEE #DO NOT!!!!#SEPARATE THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#I just know Lin was thinking of adopting her if going home with her parents didn't work out #actually I think Chihiro never really told Lin about her motivations so she was probably envisioning that #the moment she came back from Yubaba's office she was like 'yeah no this kid is mine now'#spirited away #studio ghibli #ghibli #ghibli movie #chihiro #spirited away chihiro #spirited away sen #spirited away lin #everytime Chihiro sees a weasel or a fox she gets some sense of familiarity

Do you ever think about your wife kissing you so hard and so hungrily it leads to the inevitable and her love bites start breaking the skin?

My interview panel: That is not what we meant by "Do you have any questions for us?"
